About

Jue Wang is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction, ethics, and social psychology. Their most recognized contribution, "Should We Develop Empathy for Social Robots?" (2021), tackles one of the more philosophically provocative questions in contemporary robotics research — whether humans ought to cultivate emotional and empathetic responses toward increasingly sophisticated social machines. This work engages with pressing debates around anthropomorphism, moral consideration, and the psychological implications of designing robots capable of eliciting human emotional responses. Though currently accumulating citations with 2 to date, the paper addresses a topic of growing urgency as social robots become more prevalent in healthcare, education, and companionship contexts. Wang's scholarship encourages readers to think critically about the ethical frameworks we bring to human-robot relationships and the potential consequences — both beneficial and harmful — of blurring emotional boundaries between humans and machines. As the field of social robotics continues to expand rapidly, Wang's early contributions position them as a thoughtful voice in conversations that will only grow more relevant in the years ahead.
